Looks like Mugabe is burning down the shantytowns all over Zimbabwe to "move the criminal element on" as he says.Any day now President Bush will notice that Mugabe is a dictator subjecting his populace to shocking human rights abuses and will send...

After two full terms in office and throwing loads of cash at the issue I think Labours blaming all the woes of the health service on the tories is wearing a bit thin. Fortunately (and fingers crossed) I and my family haven't had a great deal of cause...

That was more of an obituary than a celebration of a great service. It was almost laughable at times.Slapping themselves on the back about how great their groundbreaking news service has been over the years in a week where their 3rd story on the...

I was walking along yesterday and all of a sudden my iPod seized up. It just stuck in the middle of the track. Couldn't stop, pause or resart it, couldn't even switch it off. The battery has drained way and despite recharging it nothing seems to have...

I am in the process of buying a house, built in about 1900. Looks in great nick to the untrained eye. It's passed mortgage survey, save the apparently normal request for a damp and timber survey. Additionally, I was planning on getting a RICS...

So is it really the fourth dimension, or just a figment of the Doctor's imagination ? Fritz Is this really the longest day: Pish: Women (mainly young) often get highly corrosive liquids squirted into their faces by family members (usually Pksn & India) in the name of Honour, lucky Tom Cruise is a man then, innit For some reason pksn screws up the forum police ?

As our Mick amongst others quite rightly & often point out lazy benefit scroungers like myself should never be given any sympathy or leeway when it comes to un-earned luxury's. After speaking to my pensioner Mother last night in London, I did feel rather mean that she had to endure (enjoy-actually) her favourite Liverpool Street Station Cornish pasty, brought home and warmed up as her birthday supper, and I sat scoffing rump steak with all the trimmins( as our Kofi would say). Although I'm...

Came across this on Google news. It'll be interesting to see how far it gets.I think that the formation lap by the Michelin tyred teams was driven to avoid exposing the teams to such a liability but perhaps I am too cynical. I do wonder why they went...

My PC is giving me grief. Despite the fact that it's reasonably new (3.4GHz, 1GB of ram), CPU sits at about 50%, and the fans are running at full pelt. I've used Winpatrol to clear stuff off, but it's still not happy, and switched from McAfee to AVG...

Child Tax credit fiasco - so did Mr Brown stand up to explain what had happened to his grand design.No - he sent the cannon fodder instead in the shape of Dawn Portaloo.His actions certainly do not reflect leadership material in my books.Discuss.
